A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Sieve-An extension for providing instant notifications
Author(s) : T. Martin
Filename : draft-martin-sieve-notify-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 05-Jan-01
Users go to great lengths to be notified as quickly as possible that
they have received new mail. Most of these methods involve polling
to check for new messages periodically. A push method handled by the
final delivery agent would give users quicker notifications and save
server resources. This draft describes an extension to the Sieve
mail filtering language that allows users to give specific
preferences for notification of Sieve actions.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
